This report discusses the development and testing of a small laboratory prototype, field Raman spectrometer which can be used with a fiber optic sampling probe incorporting substrates tailored for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for low level detection of chemical species. The report also discusses demonstration of apparatus for both laboratory and field environmental samples typical of DOE environmental restoration sites. Preliminary results establish a new technique which can be used in,the field to identify and profile in situ a wide variety of pollutants at the action levels required for remediation.
